Is the Kindle worth the price? Why, why not? I don’t believe that it is worth it, because it is going to cost the consumer so much money, because there is still a need to pay for the books along with cost of the device itself where as songs could be free for the compared iPod if the CD is already owned. Also some books don’t really have re-read value. Why spend $10.00 on an electronic book, when you can take one out from the library for free? How could the Kindle revolutionize education? It would make text books available from this new source, but I believe that it won’t impact the educational world, due to its excessive price. As of today, who is the prime audience for the Kindle? Basically for the E-book audience, to create competition. What is the major advantage the Kindle holds over its competitors? It has a specially designed screen to be healthy for reading. Under what circumstances would you purchase a Kindle? What factor would keep you away? I would not buy one. It costs too much money. The fact that books also need to be paid formakes it too expensive, even if the price were to drop.
